Last year I decided to stop in to the Freight House Square in downtown tacoma after getting 3 other offers for my rather large coin collection. I have been collecting/investing for over 30 years and use to have a great time collecting. I decided to join a grading company's coin club and soon sent off most of my better coins to have graded. Upon receiving my coins back , 63 of almost 100 coins were returned ungraded due to cleaning, damage, artificial toning, not authentic, etc.
